I want to achieve the same thing with Windows XP that I do with Mac OS X. On my Mac I use "Internet Sharing" from "Wi-Fi" to "Ethernet".
What I'm trying to do is connect my freesat top-set box to my wireless connection. The Freesat box only has a wired ethernet connection.
What I want to do is connect my laptop ethernet connection to the freesat-box ethernet connection and share my laptop's wifi to the laptops ethernet connection
Edit: Also I need the laptop or the wifi DCHP server to address the freesat-box.
Is wiring impossible? It looks non feasible to have your laptop on for your Freesat box. – Tamara Wijsman – 2011-08-28T13:51:36.677
No. Unfortunately not. My concept works on my Mac but I'm struggling with Win XP. – Simon – 2011-08-28T14:00:06.827
@Simon: Sorry Simon I don't understand. Is it "Internet-->Freesat==>something-->laptop" or is it "Internet-->Freesat==>laptop==>something-->others"? Or is it "Internet==>wifirouter-->laptop==>something==>Freesat"? ("--" is wired, "==" is wireless). – William C – 2011-08-28T19:23:21.540
